Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
Detailed reviews
Initially work undertake was ok enough to ask them to do a number of jobs around the house .I had a faulty toilet they advised get a new one they sourced and fitted in.A week later had problems with the flushing .Alex sorted that but 2 weeks later had problems with a leak and flushing issues.Alex came back and stopped the leak damaging my tiles across the wall, leaving the toilet and sink insecure in January last communication Feb 2025.I've always paid for the work and never squabbled over prices.cupboard over boiler not meet standards kitchen . Someone else finishing the work so paying again
Terrible experience and I would not recommend SAR to anybody AVOID AT ALL COSTS. - start date 6 days after initial agreement - 0 communication to tell me this until chased. - leaking sink tap day after ‘completion’ - big leak from connection they supposedly blanked off. Behind cabinets so could have destroyed the flooring if not spotted by me. - worst of all a major gas leak from their cooker install. Had to call emergency Cadent who were shocked at the poor connections used. SAR agreed and promised to compensate the invoice over 2 weeks ago.and still received nothing. AVOID!!

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
